She was playing a stereotypical powerful woman who = a bitch, and the character was just plain mean - this is not being a ‘Queen’ or remotely empowering for any woman. It simply repeats the stereotype that a strong woman has to be beguiling, sexy, beautiful, well dressed and bitchy. Horrible character, horrible show.

At this point, she hasn't heard of a lot of things. One thing the show got right was showing Alexis' growing pains as she learned just what running a megabillion dollar corporation like ColbyCo was really like. But don't forget - this was at the height of the Reagan years. Government regulation of business was not one of his priorities, and since he was appointing the people in the SEC, FTC, and the Justice Department, it wasn't one of their priorities, either (one holdover from the Carter Administration described the FTC as "a gaunt and bloodied agency" after eight years of neglect).

True but I believe at the time ColbyCo owned 51% of Denver Carrington so they were the majority holder. Also as I recall this was around the time when Adam tricked Jeff into signing over his 50% share of ColbyCo to Alexis who already owned the other 50%.

She makes it look so easy!!😜😂

She said Bonn which was the capital of West-Germany at that time... but the stockmarket of Germany has always been in Frankfurt... so I don't know why she said Bonn... maybe I heard it wrong....

Alexis was NOT a bitch. She just went after what she wanted.... when Blake does it he's seen as strong and bold.

No, that's *exactly* what she said. Thank you very much!

Bringing Back Dynasty as a Miniseries would be Fun. I Think Alexis would Cool Out a Bit after Blake's Death. Carrington Oil would Merge with Colbyco Finally.

Among her best! Among her best...

Has any one notice that she didn't drink the water.

What show is this

Alexis trick is she wasnt afraid of men. She didn't need men. Yet, if Blake had shown one sincere moment of affection for her, she would have done whatever he asked. I think they should have brought them together at least briefly.

@brinpol but she didnt drink any of it.

what a great interpretation!!! So true, so true and good catch...now that i think about it, i think that is why the scene of her asking for adam to pour her a glass of water is included here...had she been a man she wld have poured it for herself....she asks her lap dog adam to pour it but then never even takes a sip from it....this was done purposely to all for viewer interpretation of the action.

Well this seems like the mommy dearest scene when Joan Crawford took over PepsiCo

ALEXIS COLBY COLBYCO OIL CO...MY FAVORITE ACTRES

@TechForThought Or perhaps "debonair?"

I'm confused if she can replace the board why does she even need the approval.

@phoenixnyc

2 жыл бұрын

She doesn't, not really. This is really more to rub Blake's face in it than anything else. When the merger is completed, Denver Carrington will cease to be an independent publicly traded company, and ColbyCo's board will become its board. Usually, some of the senior management and board are folded into the acquiring company, and I'm sure Alexis is banking on most of DC's directors hoping they'll be among the chosen few. Besides which, there's many a slip between the merger agreement and the final signatures, so if Alexis fires the board and the merger still doesn't happen, she'd find herself the majority stockholder in a company with a stock price that took a huge nosedive when the entire previous board was replaced.

I hope the new Dynasty does a take on this.
